[UPDATED: the event's been canceled, according to The Herald.]
On September 17, at 7 p.m., at the Everett Labor Temple at 2810 Lombard in Everett, ACORN is holding a "Prosperity Forum." Scheduled to speak are state legislators John McCoy, Mary Helen Roberts, and Mike Sells; Snohomoish County PUD Commissioner David Aldrich; and Snohomish County Councilman Mike Cooper. ACORN says on their flier that they will be helping people with food, baby supplies, health care, child care, energy bills, taxes, credit, and, of course mortgage help.
All you pimps and prostitutes, come on down tomorrow night!

- giving tax evasion advice for illegal activities
- aiding in illegal immigration
- aiding child prostitution
- aiding in the establishment of a brothel
- participating in voter registration fraud
- mis-use of public funds
Question for liberals: Do any of you feel any shame for what your baby, ACORN, has been doing? Is this kind of organization indicative of what modern liberalism is all about?? So much for women's rights. So much for "caring for the children".
And these cretins were invited by Obama and "Toes" Emanuel to help conduct the 2010 U.S. census!
If Malkin and Limbaugh had been more judicious than Obama in their evaluation of a biracial incident, Ross and other Democrats would probably accuse them of being racially disrespectful toward the president.
Mr. Ross's race antenna is strangely twisted. In the summer of 2001 KIRO's Mike Webb referred to President Bush's national security adviser as "Jemima Webb." KIRO, under old management, did not suspend or fire Webb. That happened years later for other reasons.
Jackson and Sharpton did not lead a boycott against KIRO and its sponsors.
KIRO's Dave Ross was strangely oblivious to Webb's blatant racism. Ross was uncharacteristically silent. Perhaps he was preoccupied with doing show prep on the underreported phenomenon of black-on-white violence, addressed last week in a column by an honest Domocrat, Leonard Pitts.
Ross was dishonest this morning in his ACORN spin. The proper analogy to O'Keefe in Maryland is not Washington's McDermott retailing an illegal tape from Florida. The correct analogy is to Maryland's Linda Tripp. All charges against Tripp for taping Lewinsky about Clinton's crimes were dismissed.
Further, unlike McDermott -- who immediately went into a year's-long modified limited hangout stonewall about his crime, and who immediately tried to lie -- O'Keefe said that he will willingly face Maryland justice. Bring it on.
(Ross says the pervs at ACORN did no crime; they only talked about crime. Judge Andrew Napolitano, who reviewed the Breitbart-Beck tape before its release, compiled a long list of ACORN's crimes. In fact, Dave, Gingrich, Boehner, and Armey on McDermott's stolen tape were only talking, and they committed no crime. Nor did they talk about violating a law. Only a House agreement was at issue. The law was clearly broken by McDermott. That's why he tried to lie his way out of a jam. And McDermott did not pay for his crime; that was done by the cronies and lobbyists paying tribute to McDermott's legal defense fund.)
Ross started his show this morning with a too-typical stunt, grabbing a piece of a previous Monson show to make a disparaging and out-of context point. It's the kind of cheap shot that Mr. Monson hasn't, to my knowledge, taken against Ross. Perhaps that should change. Monson should devote part of each broadcast to a Toss Ross update. It's only fair to correct Ross's one-sided reign of error.
Even ACORN doesn't defend itself anymore.
Did all catch Jon Stewart's remarks about it? Hilarious.
The only people left defending ACORN are in the media.
Posted by: Gary on September 16, 2009 12:25 PMStrange how the training went badly in all of these offices, isn't it? And it's a remarkable coincidence that they all offer the exact same advice.
It's a puzzler...
Posted by: Gary on September 16, 2009 12:40 PMTonight's episode... San Diego!
I sent mail to an ACORN rep. He wrote back and told me to get a job. I asked him if he could advise me on how to get a job and avoid paying income taxes.
Posted by: Gary on September 16, 2009 01:01 PMThe women who gave advice to abet child sex slavery and so on, that all seems like legitimately given advice. Which is most likely why ACORN fired them.
Hmmm, I'm starting to realize who all of Obama's non-taxpaying cabinet members may be getting their tax advice from....
Posted by: Michele on September 16, 2009 01:12 PMA link to the John Stewert video referenced above - it is funny
Posted by: JDH on September 16, 2009 02:18 PMWith charges and convictions in 15 states including Washington State where Sec State Sam Reed called the 7 felony convictions of ACORN workers "The largest case of voter fraud in the history of Washington State", FOUR branches of ACORN (DC, Baltimore, New York and San Bernadino) offering advice on tax fraud and skirting the law for underage prostitution, how can you NOT conclude the entire bunch is bad?
Honestly Duffman, have you researched ACORN at all? Have you seen the FOUR tapes? I have. They are rotten to the core!
Posted by: pbj on September 16, 2009 04:10 PMYah, that's right. NONE.
Very strange, indeed.
Posted by: Michele on September 16, 2009 04:30 PMThe Jon Stewart piece is hilarious!

Beyond pathetic! They protrayed the expose as just the next element of a vast right wing conspiracy to smear Obama. And they wonder why nobody buys that rag........
Posted by: obama's teleprompter on September 16, 2009 06:11 PM"In a statement over the weekend, Bertha Lewis, the chief organizer for Acorn, said the bogus prostitute and pimp had spent months visiting numerous Acorn offices, including those in San Diego, Los Angeles, Miami and Philadelphia, before getting the responses they were looking for."
What she actually said in her statement was:
"This recent scam, which was attempted in San Diego, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia to name a few places, had failed for months before the results we've all recently seen. "
So, he purposefully omitted New York to not make ACORN look like a bunch of liars. And by the way, we struck gold in San Diego (another name on her list) today.
The MSM has chosen to lie. It's that simple.
Posted by: Gary on September 16, 2009 07:05 PMThe defenders of Acorn talk about the great work they do for the community. Darn, if only those kids hadn't shown the criminal enterprise side of the organization. That's just dirty pool. Darn ambush journalists.
Let's see, who else did that? Was it, Al Capone? He was always giving to charity and helping out the poor. Particularly if he had just offed the family breadwinner. Now where was he from? Chicago?
Hmmmmmm. Corrupt community organizer from Chi Town. Now why does that sound familiar?
Hairy
Posted by: Hairy Buddah on September 16, 2009 07:17 PMNot four tapes. FIVE tapes now - Baltimore, Washington DC, Brooklyn, San Bernardino and San Diego. In the last, the ACORN gentleman expresses interest in obtaining the service of the 'prostitute' and inquires about her fees. He also suggests how to get a dozen underage El Salvadorean girls across the border at Tijuana, through the many contacts he has there.
ACORN is indeed a full-service organization, helping the poor - to become poorer, and become sex slaves to boot.
Posted by: Insufficiently Sensitive on September 16, 2009 08:17 PMVoter fraud? How many votes did Rossi lose by? About a hundred? How about Cantwell over Gorton? Wasn't that less than a thousand?
I wonder if Gregoire and Cantwell are willing to bit this hand that put them both in office?

Posted by: Vindi on September 17, 2009 01:15 PMCrime will do that to you eventually.
Got invited to the front table just for laughs.
ACORN has achieved what the NAACP failed to do just as Obama has achieved where Carter failed.
I was adopted from China by my loving American born mom and dad. It disturbs me to the core to think that systems of chinese communism are at work in the usa and the Acorn Obama phony voter registration machine is proof that Barack Obama has been successful.
Vote them all out for 2012.
